There are calls for women in Hull to take up vital breast screening checks, which save hundreds of lives every year - after new figures revealed that one in three fail to turn up for appointments.

A mobile clinic is being used in an attempt to encourage women who are eligible for the checks in the East of the city to respond to invitations, by offering the service closer to home. Fiona Dwyer reports.

It is being described as a revolution in breast cancer treatment - an injection which dramatically reduces the time that patients must spend in hospital.

Until now, women prescribed the drug Herceptin have received it via a drip, which is time consuming and can be painful. But now they have the alternative of a five minute injection after trials at St James's and Cookridge hospitals in Leeds. Helen Ford reports.

"She gave no sign that she was undergoing such treatment and I think she's a very brave lady, not only to carry on with her work so well during such treatment, but also to write about it now and talk about it. I think that she's a brave lady and will be an inspiration to many."
